Embodiment Construction

[0023]Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0024]FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the whole computer monitoring system according to the present exemplary embodiment.

[0025]FIG. 1 includes an image forming apparatus 101, a personal computer (PC) 102 for a manager, and a file server 103. These are communicably connected via a network 107. On the image forming apparatus 101, a monitoring program 104 is operated. When there is a change in status of the own apparatus, the image forming apparatus 101 records the change. The image forming apparatus 101 executes processing to write a status log into the file server 103. On the PC 102, a management program 105 for monitoring and managing an image forming apparatus on a network is operated. For the file server 103, a shared folder 106 is prepared. The monitoring program 104 and the management program 105 execute writing ...

Abstract

A system having an image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus includes setting whether the status of the image forming apparatus is immediately confirmed by a user, transmitting a file containing a status log based on the status change of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus to an external file server, and displaying a list of the image forming apparatus to be contained in the system on a screen in the information processing apparatus, wherein with respect to the image forming apparatus as to which a setting is made to immediately confirm the status, a button to instruct confirmation of the status of the apparatus is displayed in the list, and wherein when an instruction to confirm the status is executed from the list, status of the image forming apparatus is displayed based on the status log to be contained in the file transmitted from the image forming apparatus.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a technique in a system to monitor an image forming apparatus.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventionally, a system to collect and monitor information on an image forming apparatus such as a printer, a facsimile, and a multifunction peripheral has been discussed. The image forming apparatus to be monitored and a monitoring apparatus are connected to a network, and can mutually be in communication.[0005]Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-039237, status information on a job of peripheral equipment is stored in a file server and can be confirmed from a work station that is connected to a network. This reduces a communication load or the like that occurs by individually accessing the peripheral equipment on a network from a plurality of work stations on a network.[0006]However, in a system to monitor an image forming apparatus which is an apparatus to be...
